THE SUICIDE PISTOL.
Provided for Prisoners I'm n Cfnctn-
natl Police station by AN Accom-
modating Turnkey.

The most prevailing idea that seizes
prisoners locked up in the station-house
Is that they cannot survive the shame
and disgrace and must kill themselves.
Hardly night passes but that some
one of these desperate unfortunates is
placed behind the bars at Central sta.
ton. Often young woman. who has
taken the false step, finds herself in a
position where she must face the terri
BILE judge in the morning. Probably
the wine got he better of her senses,
she is pounced upon by the police for
some breach of the peace. and. desert
ed by her companion in the night 5
frolic, finds that publicity is forced up
on her in its awfulest form. 1t may be
that she has been enticed to one OF
those places provided for the unwary,
and sudden raid groups her with a
lot of creatures who have lost all sense
of the shame she feels SO keenly for
the first time, No doubt the dark side
of her life has been kept secret from
the home circle. But now her disgrace
must be exposed to the family and the
world. In such a moment death would
seem relief.
Probably the unfortunate may be a
young man, whose discrepancies have
ut last brought him within the grasp of
the law. He, too. would rather meet
death than the terrible arrangement in
court. 1t is not unusual for these class
es, in their desperation. TO call for
means to end their existence. Often
they will call the turnkey TO their cell
and plead for weapon with which to
blow out their brains. Equal TO such
emergencies. Turnkey VIZ ght, at Cen
trial Station. has provided what he calls
the suicide pistol" 1t is one of those
small, seven-chambered affairs that
shoot 4 hole the SIZE of little pill.
Long ago the spring disappeared. but
10 outward appearance it is as danger
Gus rs it ever was.
''Oh. for a pistol to Kill myself
with" will come the agonizing cry
from a cell.
lis that all YOU want?" replies the
accommodating turnkey; 1--WE keep one
here just for that purpose.
The harmless weapon is brought and
eagerly grasped through the bars. The
would-be suic de is probably in such 4
frame of mind that he does not notice
that it is unloaded and the hammer
will not work. Some nerve themselves
TO the point of placing it to their heads
and pulling the trigger Others will
raise the impotent weapon hesitatingly,
let it fall. and finally conclude that dis
grace is preferable even to death. 1t
was with tn S weapon that the pseudo
Duke Schaat tried to commit suicide
before his removal to Jail. The look of
disgust that overspread his features
wher he saw its harmless nature can
not be pictured. Il does not hurt the
--ff--is-en,egs. and, a. Turnkey Wright
says. has wonderfully soothing effect.

fact really is that most of our alleged
